Hi There, We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and regret to hear that you are not satisfied with your experience. At this time, we are unable to identify an account or application associated with this review, which prevents us from investigating your specific situation. That said, it appears there may have been a mismatch between your expectations based on your experience with other platforms and our required policies for newly opened accounts. We often get compared to services like Square or QuickBooks, but the key difference is that they are not banks. As a federally chartered digital bank, Grasshopper operates under different regulatory requirements and risk tolerances. Because we take a proactive approach to security, all new accounts are subject to a mandatory hold on initial funding deposits and a brief waiting period for virtual debit card issuance. This timeframe acts as a critical security buffer that allows us to verify account activity and mitigate potential fraud, ensuring that both the bank and your newly deposited funds are fully protected from day one. We also want to clarify that a waiting period for a virtual debit card does not mean you lack access to your funds. While there is a standard hold on initial funding deposits, your account remains active, and you're free to make additional deposits and move money using other electronic methods like ACH or wire transfers. Once your initial deposit clears, you will be able to issue your first virtual debit card and unlock all the other features available within our digital platform. We recognize our approach may not be for everyone, and it is never our intention to slow you down, but we will always prioritize the security of your account. If you'd like our team to investigate your experience further to see where things stand, just reply to the information request sent on our behalf by TrustPilot so we can take a closer look. Only Forward, Grasshopper Bank

Hi Marco, We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with us and would love to get to the bottom of what happened. However, we're unfortunately unable to investigate this further with the information provided in your review, and we never received a response send on our behalf by TrustPilot requesting additional information. As a federally chartered bank, we are legally obligated to thoroughly vet the the individuals and companies we support. And while we recognize that answering extra questions and providing documentation may feel like a hassle, these steps are an essential part of how we keep our banking environment secure and compliant for everyone. If you would like us to take a closer look, please respond to the information request, and we will conduct a review and get back to you with clarification once we have received and assessed the details. In the meantime, we will be using this feedback as an opportunity to strengthen how we communicate and support applicants in similar situations. Only Forward, Grasshopper Bank

Hi Lucas, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. As a digital bank, we take a strong approach to security and risk management, which sometimes can interfere with the way clients operate their businesses. While our policies and procedures are designed to keep our clients and the bank safe, we’re always open to feedback that helps us improve the way they work in practice—this was one of those cases. After taking a closer look, we see that a member of our team has already reached out regarding the rejection and confirmed that you’re clear to resubmit the deposit. We’re glad this was addressed and appreciate your patience while we worked through it. We hope this isolated incident hasn’t diminished your view of the broader digital banking experience we aim to deliver, and we look forward to earning your confidence—and that 5-star rating—in the future. Only Forward, Grasshopper Bank

Hi Lori, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how overwhelming it can be to manage a total loss while waiting for the release of the lien on your title, and we sincerely apologize for the delay that made an already challenging situation even harder. After taking a closer look, we found that the delay was the result of multiple missteps during the transition process, which unfortunately impacted the timely release of your lien. We recognize that partners we work with are a direct reflection of the level of service we provide, and the process took far longer than it should have. After identifying similar instances where service and support fell short of our standards, we have since onboarded a new title vendor, and your feedback has been shared internally with our cross functional team to ensure that a situation like this does not happen again. In the meantime, we're pleased to share that the lien has been released, and your title should be arriving by mail shortly. This has undoubtedly been a stressful process, and your patience and understanding is truly appreciated. If there’s anything further that Grasshopper can assist with, we’re happy to help, or escalate to the appropriate team to ensure any outstanding issues are fully resolved. Only Forward, Grasshopper Bank

Hi Niky and Amanda, Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how delays, especially when it affects a vehicle title, can be incredibly stressful, and we’re genuinely sorry for any frustration or inconvenience this may have caused. After taking a closer look, it appears the payoff check was sent to the wrong location, which delayed processing beyond our standard procedures. During that time, interest continued to accrue on the loan, resulting in a small remaining balance. To help simplify things and keep the process moving forward, the accrued interest was waived. Although this experience did not meet the standards we strive for, we care deeply about being a reliable banking partner and are committed to ensuring future interactions are easier, faster, and more seamless for you and your business. If there’s anything else you need or questions we can help clarify, we’re happy to assist or connect you with the right team to get it resolved. Only Forward, Grasshopper Bank

Hi Andres, We understand that receiving notice of an account closure, particularly early in the relationship, can be unexpected. As a federally regulated bank, we are obligated to perform comprehensive account and transaction reviews both at onboarding and on an ongoing basis. In certain situations, if required verification cannot be completed or activity does not align with our risk policies, we may decide to close an account in accordance with those policies.As previously communicated, any remaining funds will be returned following our standard procedures and processing timelines. While this may not have been the desired outcome that you were hoping for, we can assure you that these measures are in place to protect all clients and maintain a secure, reliable digital banking experience. Although our services may not be the ideal fit for your needs, we wish you success in finding the right solution that works best for you. Only Forward, Grasshopper Bank

Hi Manuel, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when certain payment and deposit solutions don’t function the way you expect, especially when you’re trying to move funds quickly. As a digital bank, we are strong advocates of using technology to complete financial transactions online and prioritize reliable, business-grade payment rails that most companies commonly use, such as ACH, wires or instant transfers and payments via FedNow. At this time, we do not support certain peer-to-peer services, including Zelle, or debit-based transactions on platforms like PayPal due to historically elevated fraud risks associated with some P2P transaction types. These safeguards are intended to protect our clients and maintain a secure digital banking experience for all. Although Grasshopper business debit cards currently do not support instant transfers or payments through P2P apps, you can still use many platforms like Paypal by linking your bank account directly via routing and account numbers. While this approach may feel limiting in some situations, we take our role as your banking partner very seriously. It is never our intention to make banking more difficult or slow you down, which is why we are actively evaluating our payment capabilities and exploring new technologies to expand flexibility while maintaining the bank-grade security standards our clients expect. Your feedback plays an important role in how we assess and prioritize future enhancements. We recognize that certain limitations exist today, but we hope they are not reflective of the broader digital experience we’re committed to delivering. In the meantime, if you would like assistance connecting your account or exploring available options, our Client Services team would be glad to help. Only Forward, Grasshopper Bank
